A PM is a project manager. A PdM is a product manager
We also have Program Manager
rule of thumb: project managers are always irrelevant. product managers are mostly irrelevant.
Says who? Tech lead?
Agreed^. Been a PM for both. B2B = fuckton more important.
PM = Product Manager PgM = Program Manager Project Manager seems less and less relevant in agile world, I am thinking this will become either PgM or SM (scrum master)
true in a software dev world. not so true in infrastructure build world. woe is she who would use agile to build your offce building. Agile sux when there are a lot of dependencies. having said... As a long time waterfall pm....i'm stealing every lean/agile tactic I can that moves an effort fwd and def agile's iterative approach where it makes sense
In some company, they call what you do as TPgM or PgM. Some PgM might run one big “project” and manage dependencies within work streams accordingly.
Product Manager = PM Project Manager = PM Program Manager = PM Portobello Mushrooms = PM 🍄
Project managers are useless af
No
Microsoft bastardized the program and product manager roles vs rest of world
PM = Product Manager / PjM = Project Manager
At least some distinction is good, so I don't necessarily disagree. Maybe we should use both.
